she don't remember shit...

flap jacks, i'm writing shit that i feel.

i like the day summary mike, i wish i could give one but nothin special happens.

actually today in the hospital, for this class called nursing practice where we jsut shadow a doctor and do simple shit like blood tests and check blood pressure and basic shit like that...

so anyways in that class today, we're in the "rheumatology" wing in a hospital room with 6 beds and a patient in each one, the first patient a young lady with arthritus in her hands and psoriasis but normal test levels, a rather simple patient it appeared...so the teacher asked us to take her blood pressure and no one volunteered, this was our first class and we all had white coats on and stethescopes around our necks, so i'm sure everyone was nervous, obviously not me cos i'm me, but i didn't volunteer so the teacher looked at the only girl in the class (a beautiful indian girl from conn. called natasha (my opinion)) and said "ladies first," in her thick polish accent.

so natasha begins to take her blood pressure but looked really confused, so the teacher walked around the bed and decided to show everyone the proper way to do it, natasha looked up, with the most confused facial expression and barely got out the words "i think i'm going to pass out," and rocked back and forth. but the teacher didn't hear and continued talkin and within 10 seconds natasha was unconscious, but luckily the kid next to her heard her and grabbed her. the doctor jumped up, and the started shoutin orders to us in polish but of course none of us understood. bout 45 seconds after that she just yells go get water as natasha is now passed out in a chair but sliding to the ground. she hit the ground so gently as if the hard tiles in that stuffy room were clouds and the teacher begin to slap her face to wake her (this was in order to prevent potential brain damage that can occur with someone loses consciousness like that) , meanwhile the sick patient jumped out of bed and grabbed a nurse from the hallway as well as two doctors, all of us were pretty much frozen and useless.

natasha came around bout a minute later and her eyes opened slowly, it was really strange.

i dunno i'm done typin but yea that was my afternoon

she had some blood tests and they said it was cos low sugar level, she was in our physics seminar bout 4-5hours later and seemed fine.

tomorrow i think i will buy her a candy bar and make some awful joke bout the whole situation..icebreaker ha
